Daimler Truck North America's efforts towards sustainability and clean energy trucks deliver its Freightliner eCascadia, the company's take on a class 8 electric semi truck to new partners. Its recipient is the famous vehicle leasing company, Penske, which received the shipments from Daimler and marked a new age for its clean energy ventures.
Penske's leasing helps more people gain access to clean energy vehicles, including the electric semi-truck, without the need to purchase the vehicles directly from its manufacturers.
Daimler Delivers Freightliner eCascadia to Penske, Field Testing Done
Penske announced its receipt of the deliveries from Daimler Truck North America, centering on the electric semi-trucks from the company, the Freightliner eCascadia with two units to the company. The company will use these electric semi trucks for their main business, making the electric cars available for the public to access via the company.
Daimler officially released the Freightliner eCascadia in May 2022, centering on the cargo hauler which uses battery power to provide mobility to all that needs it.
Penske and Daimler have been testing two trucks in the field since 2018, the Freightliner eCascadia and eM2 models, with their most notable collaboration centering on transporting race cars for NASCAR and IndyCar.
Penske Makes Electric Semi Truck Available for Lease
Daimler did their part by the development and delivery of the electric semi trucks for the world, but Penske will center on the feat of making it more available to the public with its leasing services for customers. It means that people may access DTNA's Freightliner eCascadia via Penske, without the need to buy the electric vehicle, a more accessible and cheaper option.
Electric Trucks, Schoolbuses, and MORE
The effort towards electric mobility is not only for private and personal cars available in the market from the many vehicle companies in the world but should also be for all industries in the transportation industry. One of the famous companies that launched an electric cargo transportation system is Tesla, centering on its upcoming availability of the Tesla Semi.
In this age of modernization and looking out for the environment, the United States is one of the leading countries towards carbon neutralization, centering on a 2030 goal to eradicate gas-powered engines.
One of the United States' goals is to transform the mass transport system to clean energy, with one project from President Joe Biden towards the change to electric schoolbuses for public schools.
Additionally, the Biden administration also looks into changing the electric mail trucks to replace USPS' current fleet, with Oshkosh Defense as its exclusive manufacturer.
Electric mobility is evolving and applying to other fields in the transportation system, with Daimler Truck North America also launching its clean energy take for its class 8 semi-trucks. And what better way to have it more accessible to current industries than its partnership with Penske, which will make the Freightliner eCascadia available for leasing to many companies requiring it.
